Echoing the version offered these days by TrueDimensions and partly composed of Bionicle pieces, Omar Ovalle offers its version System of this Droid Destroyer. Obviously, the overall shape suffers from the use of classic parts and this Destroyer Droid gets a little clumsy. Omar Ovalle has retained a certain modularity with the ability to partially withdraw into himself.

I am not really convinced by this version which remains very scholarly and which does not pay homage to the real Droideka, but it will at least have the merit of showing that we can recreate this machine very simply and using classic parts . We can therefore consider this MOC as strictly respecting the concept System from the LEGO range.

Let's not forget thatOmar Ovalle is above all a designer and that his work is part of a global creative process in the LEGO universe. His work also includes the highlighting of his creations visually with the design of the boxes, some of which are really very successful, and the staging of his achievements by placing them in a fictional context of the Star Wars universe that it describes under each creation. 

You can discover his three series of LEGO-themed creations on these dedicated flickr galleries:

Star Wars Custom Lego Set 1

Star Wars Custom Lego Set 2

Star Wars Custom Lego Set 3

You have to put back this photo on which I just spent long minutes trying to recognize each character and which dates from 2010 in its context: Julian Fong alias levork created all of these minifigs long before LEGO announced the Superheroes range .... 

Aquaman, Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, Red Arrow, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, Flash and many more are gathered here in a family photo that we would love to be able to do soon with the official LEGO minifigs. But let's not dream too much, the Superheroes range is not going to be so exhaustive ....

To learn more about these minifigs and their design, visit levork's flickr gallery, you will learn a lot about these creations that have inspired many fans to in turn create custom versions of the most famous heroes of the DC Comics universe.

Special mention for the version below of SuperGirl, cousin of Superman ...

It is one of the vehicles that gave me back a taste for LEGOs and that made me dive back into this universe that I had put aside for various reasons, with the set 8018 Armored Assault Tank released in 2009. Since then I obviously ruined myself to assemble the Star Wars range and I was therefore able to appreciate the 2000 version with the set 7155 Trade Federation AAT to which was added in 2011 the mini set 30052 AAT.

This machine, a cross between the tank and the hovercraft used by the Trade Federation during the invasion of Naboo has always fascinated me. I recently fell in love with ten copies of the set 30052 on Bricklink without really knowing why. Maybe I dream of having an AAT army and replaying the Battle of Naboo .... And you can get it new in its bag for less than $ 3 which makes it a steal if you like it. tan ....

The original tan-beige color was replaced by a mixture of blue and gray when the Federation of Commerce joined the Confederation of Independent Systems.

This MOC ofDarkness pushes a little further the level of detail largely obscured by LEGO in its versions System of this AAT, and makes this machine a reproduction much more faithful to the original model.

Everything is there: Colors, overall shape, functionalities, respected minifigure scale. I also really like the choice of parts used to respect the characteristic design of this machine without harming the aesthetics.

A beautiful achievement for which you can admire other views and some close-ups of the cockpit on the flickr gallery d'Darkness.

If you have a Mac (iMac, MacBook) and have been waiting ages to be able to play LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars, your ordeal has just ended, or almost.

Indeed, the game has just appeared on the Mac App Store with a price of 23.99 € and a download of 6.42 GB.
Unfortunately, it seems that Feral Interactive Ltd, a studio specializing in porting many games to Mac, has not fully optimized this conversion and some complaints are already emerging about the heaviness of the whole and the lag present in the phases. of game.

The fact remains that this game is exceptional, that it will appeal to the little ones who will love lightsaber battles and to the adults who will salivate in front of so many machines in LEGO pieces that we would all like to be able to discover in the form of a good set. real ....

You can buy this game directly online at the Mac App Store or on the site of Feral Interactive for the modest sum of 25 €. Note that a mini site rather well done dedicated to this game has been put together by the publisher.

I had already told you about this MOCeur which has invented and above all baptized its own scale for its MOCs, the "Moodland Scale", a scale similar to that used in the Minilands of LEGOLand parks.

I had particularly appreciated his General Grievous and his Speeder Bike with a Scout Trooper and even if his latest creations (see his flickr gallery) did not thrill me, I am still stunned by the ingenuity deployed to offer these characters based on judiciously used pieces.
The resemblance to their cinematographic models is obvious, despite a certain element of surprise at first glance.

M <0> <0> DSWIM puts the cover back with a teaser of his next creation which this time seems to me on the right track .... The ARF Trooper is simply excellent, and the AT-RT which we see one of the legs should be impressive considering given the work already done and the final scale of the machine .....

If you want to follow the evolution of this creation, add M <0> <0> DSWIM to your contacts on flickr or put his gallery favorite...
